I'm sure HSX is aware of the reduction of mystery & risk...it's common sense...yet they kept halt time like this for years...why?...

I'm guessing because they are indeed getting more hits on Saturday this way.  I don't know how to run a website, but I'm guessing hits ultimately keep this site up and running.

Noticed the same...that and the big IPOs on Saturday...guess site traffic was highest M-F during work hours... {nm} JustaGuy Aug 09, 12:36

... iirc, this was the exact reason given ... increase Saturday traffic in stocks without the distortions caused by commish-free .... BC Aug 09, 13:15

sour grapes of wrath eh {nm} JPS13 Aug 09, 12:34

Completely agree. OW is not enough. Also bring back BW to the beginning of the season {nm} vadym Aug 09, 12:36

But under this system we get more BWs, which is great. My personal suggestion is that the strike price be lowered, and the IPO price raised RogerMore Aug 09, 13:00

Remember IPO prices of H$ 10.00 for Harry Potter movies billy Aug 09, 13:16

Get over it blaze223 Aug 09, 12:47

Ask for your money back. I didn't like it at first, but now with the .ow and the stock there are even more opportunities to make fake money. {nm} ryancoke2 Aug 09, 12:49

The sites is try to make money. If u don't like don't play. {nm} mike255 Aug 09, 13:07

A summary of peoples responses to my original post earlier today...... Mealticket Aug 09, 14:25

you missed - it helps keep the site operational by having more traffic on Sat {nm} Moviesnob Aug 09, 14:27

This and the big IPOs are the only reasons I come in on saturdays... {nm} slappydavid Aug 09, 16:30

I agree with you. I liked the old version better, it was more gut wrenching on Saturdays when you realized if you played it right or wrong. {nm} BelizeIt Aug 10, 10:12

Good Lord.. THis isn't anything that new.. Been like this for a while. LET IT GO... {nm} Dorfman Aug 09, 16:49

I second the Good Lord and LET IT GO {nm} aaronl5 Aug 09, 20:04

On a very front loaded movie, you can still screw the pooch with a Saturday halt. I know, I've done it enough :( {nm} davmoo Aug 09, 20:30

I like the game as it plays now..., but .... JMT-NL Aug 10, 09:16

I loved... JMT-NL Aug 10, 09:18

You still can, just with 1% less clean money. :) {nm} DTravel Aug 10, 10:08

yup {nm} Beaker Aug 10, 13:00
